worst car you have ever driven.

[neighborhood]

this is going to be a great thread...
Worst car I've ever driven was a 91 ford tempo winter beater. Hunk O' Shat. All but the Drivers rear door didn't open.

haha except the taurus looks better. Believe it or not, the new taurus isn't near as bad as the camry as far as dynamics go, imho. Both are iffy in pretty much every way, though.

about the prius, they really are no good to drive, never personally have but out of 2 people who own them i have heard serious issues that seem like they stem from weight distribution. bad in snow and rain as well

I saw a prius try to cross a flooded street (it was about 2 feet deep). Uhm, bad idea!

also toyota camry = the new ford taurus. *yawn*

80's Fiat Brava wagon. Looked like this but a wagon.

No power below 20k rpm, had been jacked up on it's torsion bar so veered left on accel & right on decel, had a "feature" where every 40 minutes the ignition wires heated up and ceased to conduct electricity. You had to pull over for 10 minutes or so so it cooled and then the car started.

Got it for free and over paid, gave it away.

Toyota Camry

James, I am hurt... j/k, but...

I have an 01 Camry and I will say that they are fine, reliable, comfortable cars. Good on gas, and with 205mm Mitchlins, has decient grip too. Slow (135hp and 3500lbs), yes, and def not sporty. But I like like mine, its a fine car (for the wife haha).

Early 90s Jeep Cherokee V6 with a worn-as-hell clutch, blown shocks, and rust all over. The way the car porpoised down the road was enough to give a man motion sickness, and the clutch had a hair trigger engagement point.

[James Crivellone]

To name a few

Dodge Caliber
Toyota Camry
Toyota Prius (why do people buy these stupid things?)

[James]

lots 195? chevy 1 ton farm truck, LDV van, chevy sprint, the list continues

[gearheadE30]

About the new malibus-I drove an LTZ V6 6-speed auto and was actually fairly pleased with it. There's better out there, but it is a huge leap forward compared to the old one.

I just rented a malibu over the last week while traveling for work.

think it was a 08 or 09 and a 6 cly

no fucking power, looked retarded and got 19 mpg ...WTF?

This is the car I was going to post...

I had to take my E90 in for some warranty work and had an 08 Chevy Malibu for a rental, what a POS. I'm pretty sure the one I had was a 4-banger , which had absolutely no power. Add to that a shitty transmission that could not decide the right time to shift. What a horrible experience, I could not wait to get rid of it, it made me appreciate my cars so much more!

ford taurus and explorers.

[Collin]

1994 Dodge Shadow, got four miles, engine came apart.

[gearheadE30]

1998 dodge neon at driver's ed. Tranny hunted at 60 mph cruise on flat ground, and it seriously rode worse than my e30 on coilovers and poly. I honestly think it I wouldn't have been able to bear it as a daily. Second is probably a Dodge Ram 2500, I think it was a '98. Magnum V8. No power at all, crap interior, and had the worst brakes I've ever seen. It now serves duty as a farm truck.

[blck325is]

1987 bright red toyota tercel. 4 gears, tempermental brake, clutch and gas pedal (very mushy or just immovable) phantom handbrake (popped up after braking hard) and the least power in any car I have driven. It had problems coming up a driveway. I'm talking shakes.. Great head unit though :D
